Celebrating the N ation’s
birthday in Warm Springs has
become an annual event for
many people in C entral
Oregon. The crowds this year
seemed much smaller at the
parade and the afternoon
events held at the Community
Center. The weather, no doubt,
played a role in the attendance
at the events. Rain was forecast
for the weekend. The forecast
held true with light showers in
the afternoon.
E v en ts w ere h eld as
scheduled. The afternoon
games held at the Community
Center offered entertainment
for spectators and games for
the younger set. Free pop and
ice cream were served. Bingo
was held for those interested in
getting out of the elements.
The highlight of this year’s
parade was the appearance of
Annie Sm ith, the oldest
member of the Confederated
Tribes, She rode in the parade
in traditional dress atop a
decorated car.
The highlight of the day was
the fireworks display held at
the Center. With the approach
o f d u sk th e crow ds o f
spectators gathered, filling the
surrounding hillsides to await
the breath-taking fireworks
display. People could be heard
exclaiming the beauty o f the
fireworks. Following the last
burst of fireworks the crowds
slowly dispersed ending the
celebration fo r the 206th
birthday of our Nation.

WHITE WATER KID STYLE— A lvis Smith 111, R yan Eagleheart and R em o Sm ith spent a
summer’s afternoon drifting the Shitike “whitewater” on inner tubes. D ebris in the creek has added
extra dangers, says Fire and Safety Officer Jerry H uff
In recent weeks people have
voiced their concern over the
debris in the Shitike Creek to
Fire and Safety Officer Jerry
Huff. According to Huff, the
main concernís fallen trees and
broken glass in the lower
Shitike,
, The lower Shitike has, for
many years, been a summer
playground for children during
the summer months. Some
Warm Springs residents have
voiced th e o p in io n th a t
children could be seriously
injured by the debris.
Much of the debris is fallen
trees that were carried down
stream during the high water
last winter. Earlier this summer
the Fire and Safety Depart
ment was called upon to rescue
a young boy who had became
entangled in one o fth e fallen
trees near the Shitike Bridge.
T h e F ire a n d S a fe ty
department along with the
Safety Committee met and
drew up a plan to enlist the
summer youth workers to clean
up the area. It was noted at the
meeting that the Shitike Creek
was a spawning stream for
trout, steelhead, suckers and
Dolly Vardent. Since the plan
doesn’t alter the stream habitat
nor the stream flow, tribal fish
and wildlife biologist Terry
Luther stated there wouldn’t be
any reason to discourage the
creek clean-up..
H u ff a d d e d , "A sw ift
flowing body of water will
never be safe for small children
who are unsupervised, but we
can remove some of the
o b v io u s h a z a r d s . ” H e
suggested p are n ts provide
supervision for small children
while they play in the Shitike
Creek plus provide life jackets
or other flotation devices for
small children.

Having a safe and happy
summer can provide fond
memories for everyone.
